#my daughter deserved so much better

[effei-s]

tsumiki has always been the plot device! why are people mad at gege? why are you demanding for her to have some plotline or agency?

yeah, no shit sherlock! she always was a plot device. the problem is she's a shitty plot device now. and a shitty plot device = no stakes, no emotional involvement from the reader. there's a reason why i didn't feel anything when i saw that panel of megumi crying.

here's the difference between tsumiki in the OOO, tsumiki as the culling game player and tsumiki dying for good (allegedly) in 219: the first two instances have meaning. she's not there, but she still influences the plot because megumi is doing everything because of her. he shapes his morals after her; he tries to save her from the curse; he risks his life countless times in the culling game; he kills for her and he spares remi for her. megumi is driven by his goal: to save her no matter the cost. megumi grows WHILE he's doing all of that. we see the influence here and now. we're constantly reminded about her with words or with imagery or both. that's why it works.

fast-forward to yorozu-sukuna fight. we get one line about killing tsumiki to make megumi sink deeper. and that's it. no reaction from megumi while the killing happens, and no reaction from tsumiki herself. nothing.

but that fight isn't supposed to be emotional! it's sukuna and yorozu, they don't care!

except... they do. at least sukuna does. this fight happens only because yorozu is in tsumiki's body. he's there to kill tsumiki. but somewhere along the lines this point is lost. even when sukuna finally gets what he came for: yorozu (and tsumiki with her) dying, we get no reaction out of him. he just stands there, staring.

we get nothing from megumi; we get nothing from tsumiki; and we get nothing from sukuna, the one who started it all.

no emotional impact. yay!!!

i'm not even gonna start on how she had the chance to fuck megumi up so bad even without sukuna, to turn his whole world upside down because she turned out to be someone who megumi didn't really know. all this time, he had that idolized version of her and it had very little in common with reality. and yadayadayada... anyway...

tsumiki was god-awfully WASTED. and you have to be blind to not see that.

Just two lil curious Targlings, I’m sure nothing bad will ever happen to them.

Divorce him! Do it. Please!

i love maddy so much honestly, such an underrated character that i grew to adore on my rewatch. i didn't think much about her when she was initially introduced as laura's cousin, who drove in to mourn with the family and attend her funeral. but now? i see her as laura's unfortunate second half, the flip side of the same coin. she's constantly compared to her, so much so that she proclaims to leland, "all i did was come to a funeral, and it's like i fell into a dream. it's like people think i'm laura, and i'm not! i'm nothing like laura!" which is true, maddy's rebellious in her youth, giving laura and donna their first cigarettes when they were 12. the cool older cousin who's in high school and giggles at cute boys. she's kind, comforting, giving, and determined. yet, she can't escape the comparisons. she's not her own person when she's in twin peaks, she's relegated to being the shadow of her cousin and it eats away at her. yes, she'll help try to solve laura's murder no matter what, but deep down, she hates the idea of all the eyes that stare at her think she's just her cousin with glasses and deep brown hair, risen from the dead. i think the most disturbing aspect to maddy's story is how she becomes entangled with leland like laura did. he sees the similarities too, and because of this, he latches onto her. she begins to see BOB like laura did, she has weird dreams like laura did, and she dies by the hands of the same man laura did (though not by the same means). her body wrapped in plastic is a deja vu for everyone. laura has died again. but it's not laura, it's maddy ferguson, and she fell into the same cycle of abuse her cousin did. leland palmer did not see maddy as her own autonomous person, instead, just a mirror of his daughter. such a tragic end to a character who did nothing but love her family and sought out the truth. maddy couldn't escape that dream she fell into and leland made sure she wouldn't.

claudia manifest an image of herself on the stage, as she ran off to the countryside. she get to travel the world, and meet a better vampire kin where she would be cherished with love and community that is supportive-

[casually-slips-into-coma]

sorry im still talking about this,, but the armand twist in the finale wouldve packed a waaayyyy bigger punch if it was revealed he orchestrated claudias murder and also louis’ salvation. if he planned to kill claudia out of some fucked up love he had for louis that wouldve been a DEVASTATING plot point. it would have been so delicious to see louis have to come to terms with the fact that armand killed claudia for him. like thats so fucking horrifying but thats also why im watching this show. i want to be horrified

it also is completely in line with what we’ve seen of armand. it wouldve been a fire parallel to what happened in the 70s with daniel, where armand went fucking crazy and possessive and hurt/tortured an innocent because of louis (im not blaming louis for what armand did to daniel u know what i mean by that). his whole thing is that he’s someone so so desperate for love that he’s willing to do anything to keep it for himself including killing the love of his life’s daughter, including torturing a random guy for a week straight, including manipulating memories

the reveal shouldve just been that armand directed the play and he was behind it the whole time and that he was the reason claudia died. can u imagine??? a scene of louis and armand in dubai directly after the twist is revealed to louis????? where armand is trying desperately to explain how he killed louis’ daughter as an act of love for him??????? and that louis just wouldnt understand and thats why hes been lying to him the whole time?? that would’ve been amazing jacob and assad wouldve ate so bad

it just seems like the writers were like armand is the villain👎👎👎 and lestat is the hero👍👍👍 when one of the huge messages of the show is that they are ALL monsters

[zerodaryls]

it's so funny (read: sad) that if bigoted fuckheads didn't insist i was a woman simply by virtue of my body at birth, i'd probably be chill with she/her pronouns in addition to he/they. if my mom didn't insist i was her daughter, i'd probably let her call me that, and we could still have a relationship.

i'm nonbinary and 'gendered' words are hypothetically meaningless, but because there are so many people who are more interested in telling me who i am rather than lovingly and curiously letting me express my own sense of self, those words carry trauma.

there's no reason a nonbinary person like myself can't be a son and a child and a daughter. there's no reason a nonbinary person like me can't go by he, they, and she.

'she' is not a slur. 'daughter' is not derogatory. 'beautiful' 'pretty' 'gorgeous' 'feminine' are not insults.

to the contrary, they're parts of language that express certain facets of a multi-faceted human existence, like mine.

and i have this sad, mournful feeling that if it weren't for unloving, condescending people, i'd probably be down to be called any of those things alongside my usual masculine/neutral terminology.

but i'd rather die than let anyone tell me what i have to be called.

[notsogoodangel]

This is what I did during my spare time... I'm fine.

Side Notes: I didn't add any of the actual players for simplicity's sake, but I did add characters played by the CCs that aren't their main characters such as Arin, ElQuackity, and Sapo Peta.

It will be too complicated to add ex-alliances and spy-related stuff... but if I did! Jaiden will be between the "knows the federation" and "sides with the players" and Etoiles will be between "understands the codes" and "sides with the players" just because there are no real secrets about it if you watch their POVs.

Sophie… :((( she cares about her friends so much UHGHAHGA

Although…I feel like that’s one of her major flaws (now correct me if I’m wrong I haven’t read the books in a hot minute) She cares TO much that she starts pushing them away keeping them from the stuff thats happening and that’s important because she wants to protect them, it’s not that she thinks there weak far from it actually (she probably thinks there stronger then her mental and physical) she just doesn’t want to see them hurt, she doesn’t care if SHE gets hurt as long as it’s not someone she loves. So she pushes them away from this stuff which causes a rift (like in nightfall with her and Dex) and I thinks that’s a flaw of hers I don’t thinks she realizes just how far her friends would go for her if she just let them join her. And I feel like this mentality got worse when she found out she was project moonlark. She feels that it her responsibility to lead (even if it’s not necessarily what she wants) and to take the fall to be the one hurt or in trouble…I honestly feel like Sophie wouldn’t necessarily care if she died if it meant her loved ones livening, (I don’t thinks she actually wants to die I just think if it came to it) (although I don’t she could make herself because she believes she’d be letting everyone down because she’s the moonlark she’s supposed to be the leader)

Anyways that’s all :3 these are just my opinions and what I think what’s your thoughts on it ? :0

if you need me i’ll just be in the corner thinking about how absolutely insane dara would go if he’d seen the same ifrit that enslaved him drowning the woman he loved in the nile

I just had to draw Tina again, living her best life on a mountain range. She's probably smiling because she's thinking about Jimmy Jr. or someone else❣️

[ID]: Digital fanart of Tina Belcher from Bob's Burgers. She has thick black hair which reaches her shoulders along with a yellow barrette and large black, square glasses. She's wearing a light blue sweater and a dark blue skirt with a red belt. One of her hands is curled with the palm facing her, and the other is held out, with the back facing the viewer. She's grinning, as if thinking about something that makes her joyful. She's standing in front of an intricate mountain range background at what appears to be sunset.

it’s really sad that i always looked forward to rhaenyra and/or alicent scenes last season but i now feel the urge to fast forward every time one of them comes on screen

- every alicent scene is her looking sad or crying or her with cole but nothing she does adds anything of value to the plot

- we get the same black council scene in which the men are undermining rhaenyra twice per episode and still nothing is done (i do believe she will make some progress in the next episodes but it’s just so boring to watch her have the same scene over and over again)

cersei and dany i miss you both so much

Three Act Tragedy - Dress Rehearsal

Egg, Charles and the others attend what was supposed to be a dress rehearsal, but unfortunately it takes a dark turn....

today was, in fact, quite hard, and i'm left with a bitterness that only a father realizing his kids deserve better than what he got would have

[umihoshi]

7 Deadly Sins is so unappolagetically cringe and whimsy. It's like introducing your friends to your cat who you love so so much, cuz he's silly and funny and actually really smart. but objectively, it's the ugliest critter you will ever see.
